But the candidate all of tlicm who catches the popular and the politicians' imagination is (ien. Dwiylit KiscnlioWL-r. The tiling about the general is that he never lias played partisan politics and so won Id be eligible I'or either party's ticket. The small matter of his own preference very little to do with it, If he should be drafted, and be elected, he'd find running the army and nin.i; a war was child's play compared with what he'd into in Washington. And on principles, a military man is not a bet I'or the highest civilian office.

The melhoils and reqtiire- inents are too dissimilar. War And Height Tall persons who find their beds too short have a ray of hope, for the future, bed sixes should be 18 inches instead of 74. says the N'atimial Association of Bedding Manufacturers, which is trying- to do something about it. The present sl.ainiaid dates back to Wor'd War when tfie average height was 'i7 inches, is now liS, ami the number ol si.v-fori(crs has nearly doubled, Kvidently the first world war did not cause a serious drain on the country's manhood, if despite it, the average height increased. The Napoleonic wars arc supposed lo have left the average J'YeiiHiman an inch shorter than his pre- decesMir before the wars started, Kven this war, with its far heavier loss (if life, has not had serious effects on American youth.

Costly Newspaper When a newspaper is burnt by the common hangman, the editor may regard it merely as helpful advertisement: but. when he himself to jail, that's dif- forcnl. When both of these tliin.n's happened to John Peter New York editor, in he protested, and a famous trial established that the jrovenior of Xew York had no riyht to interfere with the freedom of the press. The case has become a landmark in the history of free publication. The case is recalled by the sale of (he library of I'Ved W.
